Streamline Complex Jobs and More with Continuum 2025
The latest update from Boris FX, Continuum 2025, brings a host of new features and improvements to video editing plugins across popular platforms like Adobe After Effects, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Foundry Nuke, and VEGAS Pro.
One of the key highlights of Continuum 2025 is the AI-powered Depth Map ML, which uses artificial intelligence to generate depth mattes from any footage automatically. This feature simplifies complex compositing workflows by producing accurate depth information from flat footage, enabling advanced effects such as realistic relighting and colour correction without the need for manual masks.
The update also includes the BCC+ Witness Protection ML plugin, which uses machine learning to smartly blur faces for privacy purposes, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of anonymizing video content during post-production.
Continuum 2025 offers advanced colour matching tools through its BCC Color Match tool, which now integrates closely with Premiere Pro's native tools. This enables editors to match colours between clips more precisely, critical for seamless multi-shot projects in commercials and films.
The new release maintains extensive compatibility with popular NLEs and compositors, ensuring versatile workflows across software ecosystems. It includes over 200 presets designed by professionals across multiple effect categories, and six effects have been updated: BCC+ Grain, BCC+ Linear Color Key, BCC+ Pixel Chooser, BCC+ Two Way Keyer, BCC+ Smoke & Fog, and BCC+ Atmospheric Glow.
In addition, Continuum 2025 now supports Davinci Resolve's Fusion page. It also offers four new transitions: BCC+ Smoke & Fog, BCC+ Smoke Wipe, BCC+ Atmospheric Glow Dissolve, and BCC+ Orbs Dissolve.
The update also introduces a new image caching system in the FX Editor, providing faster playback and quicker refining of looks. Another notable feature is Motion Blur ML, which provides accurate and realistic motion blur to videos and motion graphics.
Continuum 2025 focuses heavily on AI-driven automation, enhanced depth mapping, improved colour correction workflows, and broad software integration. It aims to help editors and VFX artists work faster and achieve more sophisticated visual effects with less manual effort.
Pricing for Continuum 2025 starts at $195/year or $25/month. While not strictly part of Continuum, the related Boris FX offering CrumplePop 2025.5 introduces new standalone AI audio restoration tools that reduce environmental noise such as wind and traffic, accessible as plugins in platforms like Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve.
In summary, Continuum 2025 offers a comprehensive plugin suite, focusing on AI-powered automation, enhanced depth mapping, improved colour correction workflows, and broad software integration, making it an essential tool for video editors and VFX artists.
Technology plays a significant role in Continuum 2025, as it incorporates AI-powered features like Depth Map ML and Motion Blur ML, automating complex compositing workflows and providing realistic motion blur to videos and motion graphics. It also extends its compatibility with software like Davinci Resolve's Fusion page, demonstrating the advancement of technology in video editing plugins.
The update further uses machine learning in the BCC+ Witness Protection ML plugin to smartly blur faces for privacy purposes, showcasing how technology can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of anonymizing video content during post-production.
